No mark in A (→GE→FE)

Staccato dot in EE
..

The dot in EE is most probably a mistake of the engraver who considered the staccato mark to be the dot ending the Ped. abbreviation in FE.

Slurs from d1 in A

Whole-bar slurs in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The range of the four subsequent slurs in the L.H. in A may be problematic at the time of interpreting them – the lines are written with a flourish and they overlap with the  and  hairpins. The first slur is particularly inaccurate; in this case, it is both the beginning and ending that are questionable. However, a comparison of all four slurs allows us to state that the slurs always run from the d1 minim to the beginning of the next bar and this is the form in which we give them in the main text. The whole-bar slurs of the editions, although incompliant with A, could have been accepted by Chopin, since if we consider the authentic rhythmic values, accents and pedalling, the slurs can influence the performance to a minor extent. Similarly in bars 437-438.

Long accents in A

Short accents in GE (→FE→EE)
..

The shape of the accents in A, which are not very big, is generally typical of long accents (except for the sign in bar 437). However, in this case, it is understandable that the editions reproduced them as short accents.

L.H. slur in FE (→GE1→GE2)

2 slurs in EE

Dots & slurs in GE3

2 slurs suggested by the editors
..

The slur over the semiquaver sequence is present in FE (→GE1→GE2) only in the L.H. In EE, an analogous slur was added for the R.H., which we consider a right revision. The change of markings in GE3 is arbitrary.
